Welcome to the May issue of the LEP Newsletter. I am standing in for Kim for three months while she works on a project to deliver better training to our clients.

We are very excited about the new LEP Excellence Award, being launched as part of ABS' centenary celebrations. It is designed to reward you, our LEP partners. I'd like to encourage you all to enter: there's a great prize, and you would be showcasing your expertise in promotion and training to your colleagues!

We are sending you this issue earlier than usual, because we know you are busy preparing for your Library and Information Week (LIW) activities. It contains many ideas on how you could promote the use of ABS resources. Your LIW initiative could well be your entry for the Award. Good luck!

I wish you all a very enjoyable LIW, and look forward to seeing your entries!
